MetroPlusHealth offers a variety of insurance plans but their most common options especially for Medicaid and Essential Plan members, are HMO plans. With these plans, a referral from your primary care provider (PCP) is required before seeing specialists like a dermatologist. If you’re enrolled in a MetroPlus plan that’s not HMO-based such as certain employer-sponsored or special needs plans, the rules may be different.

Many of these plans offer direct access to specialists without a referral. This means your first step is to visit or contact your PCP. If your skin concern needs specialist attention, your PCP can refer you to a an in-network dermatology doctor. Having that referral ensures your visit is covered under your plan, so you avoid unexpected out-of-pocket costs. But if your plan does require a referral and you skip that step, you may end up footing the entire bill yourself.

To get a referral, the steps to follow include:

• Booking an appointment quickly to prevent further complications
• Explaining your skin concern during the visit
• Asking for a referral to a MetroPlus dermatologist in Midtown Manhattan
• Scheduling your dermatology appointment once the referral is issued
